Brake Lights and Hazard Flashers

[Donald Watson]

This sounds like an application requiring diodes. (The selection of the
diode is dependent on the current that it will be handling.) If you don't
like the inherent .7 volt drop across the diode, the diode could activate an
automotive relay similar to the common BB headlamp and rear lamp relay
modifications. It's a matter of deciding exactly what you would like to see
lit and when, then supplying that info to someone with basic electrical
skills. The challenge is to find a tech capable of wiring it neatly and
documenting the work for future service.

They are, that is why I am looking for a way to separate the lights,
like my old FC-the bottom light was the tail/brake light and the top
was the signal.
